R33 Gts25t Spoiler (& Brief Skyline Intro)

[TommoECR33]

Hello all,

Have just joined as I'm looking to tap into the vast knowledge here, starting with my spoiler. This is my first Skyline and therefore I'm trying to get my own information up to speed.

Quick details on my car are here: http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/465234-new-from-the-uk/

I've searched here and online and found the following two thread but neither really fledges out the details and also how to fix it. Mine is working for the most part, however it doesn't work automatically. It will just permanently come up as soon as the handbrake is released, and will refuse to stay down when the down button is pressed, I think this is because the down button won't "click" into place.

Here are the button & it in the up and down positions:

I've taken the button out (when I was attempting to fix the odo) and it's defo part of the original car;

and here's the English manual blurb on it

Would anyone be able to tell me if there is a place which gives more details on it so I can return it to full working order?

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for it, I couldn't find one in the workshop manual I have got hold of.

Thanks

Tommo

Haven't seen an R33 one, but the R32 and R31 came with them as well. I have no knowledge of the R32 and R33 ones, but the R31 ones automatically folded up below a certain speed (came down after 70 km/h IIRC). You had to by-pass this (manual override) to make the autospoiler stay down.

A quick search: http://homepages.vodafone.co.nz/~lakewood/Skyline/Spoiler.htm

I think the part number for the switch is this: 2512015U00

Wow thank you for that, reply is just perfect. I'd searched for so many different names for it and had missed "Active front spoiler"! I have a feeling my switch could be part of the issue with mine as like the guy in the link say his "down" button wasn't latching. With the car stopped and the handbrake on the spoiler will move as intended so I don't think there is anything wrong with the actual function of the spoiler. Will ask my importers parts desk to see if they can get hold of one!

Also that R31 promo video is just the best thing ever!
